What an amazing turn out and feel good project on Thursday May 4 – a
big SHOUT OUT to Laurie for hosting us at her home. We made over
60 gift bags for underprivileged moms and the end product was a gift bag every
mom would enjoy. Thanks for the generous donations of time and supplies.
Many of you mentioned you hadn’t received the memo with the details for
volunteering at the event or donating cash. Please see the information below. In addition to the gift bags, we will be donating $500 from our
Club to help fund the lunches. Please let Jennie know if you plan to
volunteer next week. I plan to volunteer as well as Shannon. Kudos
to Cesar Diaz for his efforts every year for this event.

Service Project:
There are many wonderful Mothers in our community who are going
through hard times; facing big challenges. Many of them are away from their
home or country and many which are single parents and/or unemployed. We would
like to help these beautiful women celebrate Mother’s Day by bringing
them together for a small retreat to honor them. This event will include
a delicious lunch, a musical program, and a gift bag filled with items to
pamper themselves.
